New way to mend a broken heart
Scientists say they have found a new way to mend damage to the heart.
When cells turn into fully-formed adult heart muscle they stop dividing, and cannot replace tissue damaged by disease or deformity.

The study, carried out on mice and rats by Children's Hospital Boston, appears in the journal Cell.
